Tobago Cays (Thursday, July 20th)


The Star Clipper as seen from the tender on the way to the beach. The water was so clear that we could see the ocean bottom even where the ship was even though it was 90 feet deep!


Blue water and white sand beaches...what a sight!


"Let's go to the top of this hill and check out the view..." (Mary nearly burned her toes off on some scorching rocks on the way up).


The view from the top of the hill.


Ann and Lee, a humorous, sociable couple from Florida with whom we shared many laughs and drinks. ("Lee, is that a 'bad-boon' hiding behind you?") :-)


The Star Clipper from the beach. Mary and I actually tried water skiing in this bay even though the water was a bit choppy. For both of us it was our first try, and while Mary actually made it up on her skies before doing a faceplant into the wake, I gave up after six or seven really good salt-water sinus cleansings, submarine imitations, and cheek-splitting wedgies.


Niall and Cheryl, a fun-loving, snorkel- and scuba-adept couple originally from South Africa (now they live in Florida).


What next?
